Product description
Lightweight athletic down jacket
Super warm, wonderfully light and plenty of freedom of movement, the Brenta Jacket from Salewa is perfect for active winter tours!
This down jacket is made from a lightweight, tear and abrasion-resistant outer material that has been treated with a long-lasting, water and wind-repellent DWR finish. Its high-quality duck down fill with a ratio of 80:20 (down/feathers) and a fill power of 550 cuin ensures excellent insulation. Plus, the strategically positioned quilting creates a stylish look and also prevents the down fill from bunching together, which optimises the jacket's insulating performance. Meanwhile, the Responsible Down Standard label guarantees that strict animal welfare guidelines have been adhered to during production.
The athletic cut and the special sleeve construction with gusset inserts allow for full freedom of movement, even during demanding action. In addition, the waistband and cuffs are elasticated, as is the integrated hood. As a result, the jacket fits comfortably and cosily. To prevent cold winds from getting inside, it is also equipped with a storm flap underneath the front zip.
The advantages at a glance:
- Durably wind and water-repellent thanks to DWR treatment
- Great thermal insulation thanks to quilted down fill
- Extra freedom of movement thanks to gusset inserts

In my opinion i have found this jacket really good. It fits very well and snug in the right areas. It feels soft. It is very warm and works well with a baselayer, even on a cold day. I really like this jacket and really like the brand. I have however after about 6 months of use noticed a few wear and tear areas. I am monitoring these to make sure there isnt any further damage which is a massive shame. I do however think this is a great light weight jacket, packs down well too. Recommended.

Have not tried it in the mountains yet. I saw some reviews that it fits tight, it was great for me (L for 189cm, 93kg). Feels warm for its' very small weight. A con is that is seems that is does not fold into one of its' pockets and does not come with a carrying bag.
